I know this question has been asked a million times, but What Graphic
card should I buy?  My video card sucks, its an S3 Virge with 2mb of
ram.  My question is "is there a card that has both rendition and 3dfx
that I can use to replace my old card?  On my system, NASCAR 2 and
Indycar Racing II run great, but CPR and MotoRacer and the Toca Demo run
very badly, very low framerate.  Which should I buy ?  I plan on buying
one soon, so any suggestions would be appreciated.  i want to run
MotoRacer very badly, but when I run the demo now it has black squares
that pop up in place of objects, and I guess that is due to the poor
quality of my video card...I have a pentium 233 with mmx if that helps
any...i would like to have a card that would be used in place of the
junk I have now

Thanks folks

Rendition card.

Well at this time and moment 3DFX is the leading 3D card and would be the
one I would recommend buying. The only problem is todays technology is
tomorrows garbage in a short amount of time. Fortunately 3DFX has been
holding the lead in 3D games for about a year and many companies are writing
their games with this card in mind. Other 3D cards are just catching up and
if Voodoo 2 meets the claims that 3DFX has made about it the 3DFX chip will
be the leader for the next year also.

Thanks

I have a p233 mmx as well. I currently have the Sierra Screamin 3d
rendition card, which I am very happy with. However, I also see the need to
be able to run 3dfx as well. I plan on purchasing the Canopus Pure 3d 3dfx
card , to run in conjunction with my Sierra rendition card. I know the
newer rendition cards are out, but I will probably hold off on them for a
little while.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Sierra card, never a moment's trouble
from it for me. Of course, I spend all my time on Nascar 2 with some Icr2
dabbled in for good measure <g>

I have a Monster 3dfx and Mattrox Millineum II in a 266 box. It all
works great but I need OpenGL running in a Window. Is there a good
video card to replace my Millineum that will do this. Are any of these
Rendition based? (would love to see Nascar 2, Indy 2 and SODA in
Rendition mode).

Thanks

Why do you want it in a window? You could sell both your cards and get a
Voodoo Rush card.
